Another object of this in tuition is to furnish a nut cracking device with cracking levers that control the feeding of nuts from the. reeeptmrles or container of the device.

further object of this invention is to provide a nut cracking device that is simple in (umsl-l'urlion, durable. and susceptible to any desired ormunentation.

l attain the above objects by a mechanical construction that will be bereimiftcr specilicully described and then claimed.

Reference will now be lnul to the draw- ,ing; whcrcini N are 1 is a side elevation of the device .party'hroken away and partly in section, {and Fig. 2 is a p an of the device partly broken away and partly in section.

' A device in accordance with this invention comprises a flat circular base, and formed integral with this base is a conical shaped support 2, having the upper end thereof reduced to l'0\'ltl0 a deflector 3.: At the juncture of t ie supiort 2 and the deflector 3 there are a plurality of radially disposed horizontal arms 4, having the outer ends thereof bifurcated or forked, as

at 5, and provided with seats 6, for nuts 7.

The nuts 7 are held within a funnel shaped reservoir or container 8 formed integral with the support 2, and provided with openings 0 ad acent to each of the outwardly extending aperturcd lugs 10, and

'pivotally mounted between these la s by pins 11 are cracking levers 12. The inner: ends of the lovers extend into the container 8, and the outer ends thereof extend be end the arms 4 and are provided with mgerl pieces 13.

The auto within the container 8 normally retain the cracking lovers in a horizontal position and when the inner end of one of said lovers in raised a nut lsreleased to fall KARUII Cnnruowu'zidrawing;

through the opening 9 on to the bifurcated end of the arm.- ay then raising the outer l. A nut cracking device comprising a lsupport, a conical shaped container carried 1 by said support. and having the-walls theree of provided with openings, radially disposed arms carried by said support. and adapted to receive nuts from said container, and cracking levers )ivotully supported by said container and luring the inner ends thereof extending through the openings of maid container.

2. A nut. cracking device comprising a support, a conical shaped container carried by said support. and lowing the walls thereof provided with openings, radially disposed arms carried by said support and adapted to receive nuts from said container. crank levers pivotally supported by said container and having the Inner ends thereof extending through the o )(lllll i of said containers, and a conical sliaped deflector arranged in said container.

3. A nut cracking device comprising a support, a conical shaped defleetoy carried thereby, a funnel shaped container surrounding said deflector and having openings at the base thereof, bifurcated arms carried by said support adjacent to' Suld' opening, pivoted cracking levers carried by said container and adapted toerack nuts upon said arms and finger pieces carried by the outer ends of said levers.
